Taken By the Night
by Breanna Hayse
Genre: Paranormal Romance
What would you do if you were forced to come face-to-face with the secret
part of your soul you’ve kept hidden your entire life? Would you
expose that secret if it meant the possibility of living your greatest fantasy?
Hospice nurse Courtney Wells expected to encounter a commanding personality
when she agreed to provide care for an old friend of the Romanian
aristocrat, Baron Marcas Kalnovky. Confident, self-controlled, and
independent- very few things could rattle her, that is until she
meets the handsome and mysterious man with silver-gray eyes and old
world charm. The moment she hears his deep rolling accent, her body
quivers with a desire she can’t deny no matter how hard she tries.
From the beginning, Marcas demands something the young American woman’s
not willing to give- submission. His desire for her takes him on a journey that
forces him to face himself in a way neither he, nor Courtney, anticipate.
What the pretty little nurse doesn’t know is that the baron’s
voracious appetite for ancient erotic art resulted in the unleashing
of a dark curse. Not only does he nearly lose his sight, but his soul
is literally split in two.
By day, he’s the same man he always was- controlled, calm, and
commanding; but at sunset, he tears in half and his two opposite
sides war against one another. The only thing they have in common is
the beautiful, feisty woman who’s turned their life around. Both
sides not only want her, but they also need her… all of her, in
every way she can be taken… Together at night- which means they
have to find a way to get along.
When Marcas finally confesses the truth, Courtney’s both terrified and
intrigued. When she’s bound naked and helpless at the mercy of all
of his desires, she’s shocked to find that she’s soon begging for
both of him in every manner imaginable.
When she discovers the pain Marcas endures to be with her; she’s
determined to find a way to help him. Little does she know that
there’s more to curse than his being forced to face himself every
night—it wants a sacrifice. A terrifying sacrifice that would cost
Courtney’s life she’s compelled to come to terms with her own
hidden darkness.
Will her love be enough to break the curse and heal his wounded soul? What
about the cost? Would he ever forgive her if she succeeds in setting
him free?
BDSM/AP lifestyler Breanna Hayse strives to give her readers truth and
reality of the BDSM/Age-Play/Total Power and Erotic Exchange lifestyle.
Who am I?
I’m a native Californian gone ‘wild’, and had the opportunity to travel
the globe and discover the world through the eyes of both a Marine
Intelligence specialist and a BDSM lifestyler. I left the service to
go into hospice nursing and grief counseling, eventually working as a
marriage and family therapist for those involved in alternative
lifestyle development. This experience has allowed me to gain unique
inspiration for my books and offer realistic plots and relatable characters.
In 2004, my husband, John, and I joined forces to work with both
submissives and dominants- teaching, training, listening and loving.
Our goal was to take the mystery and fear out of the lifestyle and
mentor people in safe, consensual and healthy relationships.
My first book, The Game Plan, was published in 2012 and opened the door
to the now-booming world of Age-Play literature. Since that time,
I’ve devoted my ‘spare’ time to writing, researching, community
involvement, and private and group pro bono counseling in deviant
behavior, alternative lifestyle, and addiction recovery.
I was formally ‘dungeon trained’ as a Domme before discovering my
submissive side when I joined the service. My scenarios are pulled
primarily from either personal experience or observation, including
spending time in BDSM clubs as the safety/medical officer. My
multi-faceted background allows me to glean from many avenues and
give a unique and intelligent literary experience through elements of
fantasy and fiction. I also discuss the questions and psychology of
the lifestyle in a manner that is fun and informative, and based on
‘the real deal.’
I live with my husband, musician, and fellow-author, John Hayse, and
two border collies in southern California. We practice a 24/7 D&S
relationship with speckles of AP (and many trips to Build-A-Bear),
and happily spend every moment together that we can. My hobbies
include my puppies, hiding my vanilla salt-water taffy where John
can’t find it, exotic art, collecting inspirational trinkets, and
developing my own paddle line. You can also see me as a featured
author/instructor in professional conference settings and as a
Sexpert for kinkyliterature.com.
